Can you report players who refuse to switch and end up jeopardizing the entire match for others? I literally cannot express my anger towards these people. I was high platinum at the end of the latest season, but game after game of jerks who wouldn’t switch and couldn’t get a single kill dropped me down almost 600 SR. Seriously, is it not reportable?
It’s that one Genji, or that one Widow, or that one Doomfist. I can’t tell if they’re throwing or genuinely terrible. They refuse to communicate, group up, and flame everyone at the end of the match. I’m so tired of losing…
I’m not trying to complain, but it’s ridiculous. I’m always on the losing side, and no matter what I do to uphold the team (tank and support main), we still end up with a loss because someone refused to adapt.
Officially, no. Being bad is not against the rules. The system will, allegedly, move them to bronze where they belong.
Honestly, though, if someone is being such a poor team player and is playing so poorly that it’s basically a 5v7, I would report them because they’re actively creating a negative experience for everyone, including the 6 enemies.
Although, if they do flame, like you say, then you have a perfectly valid reason to report which no one can argue with.
Jeff also has defended one tricks and said they are not reportable but also has said the game is about flexing and if you’re being countered and don’t flex it is reportable. So Jeff is not a great person to really use in a situation like this
Playing poorly is explicitly noted in Blizzard’s official rules as NOT being reportable
If one reports a player because of poor play, one has broken the rules of reporting, filed a false report, and is then liable to be actioned themselves on the basis of false reporting
Throwing is if you willingly hinder your Team from winning a Throwers goal is lossing.
Not swiching but still giving your best at the Hero is not trowing and not reportable even if your team losed because of it Aka the Player still played with the intend to win.
there is this cool thing called google search engine.
Using it, you can put in key words , or even entire phrases.
When you are on the forums, or on the you tubes or other public places and somebody says a claim that you want proof of, you can use google and other search engines to do research.
The WWW is just full of information that is at your fingertips. The world is your oyster.
I googled it. Jeff never said anything like you claimed. If you’re making a claim then it is up to you to provide the evidence. You claim Jeff says refusing to switch is reportable, then link where he says it.
By that logic you’d never get anyone for ‘playing poorly’ because it could never be proven.
Unless match stats were somehow sent with a report and someone had 0 elims and 20 deaths.
Thus, again, if someone is being a burden to their team beyond simply “having a bad game”, that, in my view, deserves a report because they are actively hindering their team’s ability to win.
